Wall plants

We found this plant doing well, no idea what it is.
It looks as if it could be blackthorn (sloe) Prunellier. The side shoots normally become thorns as they grow. It propagates easily and can be hard to get rid of as it sends out shoots underground. It produces nice white blossom .... and sloes !
But if you want to make sloe gin, all you need to do is encourage it !
However, if there are no thorns, it may be a Grey or common willow. Seedlings propagate freely and it will make a mess of your wall if you let it continue to grow, as would a blackthorn.
